Hi Anusha,
Thank you for the suggestion. I looked at your photo album. So lovely. Did you do the lizard with bullion stitches? I think I will try to copy your beetles but not using beads. They are quite wonderful, as are your dragonflies.
Later I will post pictures of my first project, still in progress, a silk crazy quilt I am making for myself.

Hi Anusha, thanks for the compliment. To make that effect you simply make a stitch over the couching and then make wrapping stitches until you cover that stitch.
I´m glad you like it! :)

Thank you. I could have sold it many times but I keep it as a memento when I lived in Tenerife and this was my view to La Gomera.
I made tissue/muslin paper/dyed, pieces of silk...all laid down in strips. The sy is pieces of organza/vole etc... overstitched. The sea and sun shadow is machine stitched with varying weights of threads.
